The Pantone Party Continues With More & New Products!

I did a huge post on all things Pantone (the universal color matching system also known as PMS) a ways back and since then there have been some new additions to the market. For those Pantone-loving peeps, here they are!

SeaVees, Purveyors of California Casual, has announced an exclusive collaboration with Pantone, the world-renowned authority on color. True to their inspiration, each SeaVees style is named to honor an influential date in 1960's California-cool history.

With the creation of the 09/63, SeaVees celebrates the founding of Pantone, and the release of the first PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM in September 1963. For the first time in their 45 year history, Pantone has allowed an external design team into their hallowed archives. SeaVees has selected seven vintage colors from the original Pantone color guide.

The palette, chosen from the only authentic guide known to exist, epitomizes the cool, casual style of California in 1963. The series production has been restricted to 1,963 pairs. Each par costs 140.00 USD and will ship in February of 2009. www.seavees.com

Inspired by the PANTONE FASHION + HOMES system, Sonia Spencer introduces a striking new collection of contemporary cufflinks and key rings for the modern man and woman. All the items are made from stainless steel for everlasting wear and feature coloured enamel in seasonal PANTONE colors. Each piece comes in a high gloss beautiful black signature box with white leather interior and a PANTONE leaflet showing the colours in that seasonal collection.
